When writing say y— saw the adv. in 
[ Forest and Stream 
We have all of us, at one time or another, 
seen some narrow gut at the hour of slack water, 
when its surface lay placid or ruffled only by the 
winds, giving no hint of the strong current that 
would be surging through the passage within a 
scant half hour. How synonomous are such 
conditions with the present sonderklasse situa¬ 
tion! A week ago all was stagnant. Men had 
talked the subject to death and yet the Delphic 
Oracle spoke no word of prophesy or advice. 
Lacking this inspiration the multitude turned to 
topics, struck more responsive 
chords. T he, few that still lingered, idly gossiped 
of “no race,” “no race until 1908” or broached 
such suggestions as that the Eastern Y. C. con¬ 
tent itself by sending to Kiel a trio of last sea- 
son s boats. To-day, the situation has lost its 
placidity, the current is surging onward to a 
definite goal. 
This change has been wrought by the mere 
publication of two short terse cablegrams. Their 
result is that a match has been arranged to begin 
Aug. 15 between representatives of the Eastern 
and Kaiserlicher Yacht Clubs named by July 15, 
the rules and conditions to be the same as those 
that governed the Roosevelt cup races, save that 
the crew, of three, must all be amateurs. 
Now that the Germans have so gracefully 
waived their natural preference for Kiel week 
and assented to a later date, it behooves all good 
members of the Eastern Y. C., all good American 
yachtsmen, in fact, to pull together and see that 
enough new boats are built to insure our coun¬ 
try of proper representation in this international 
match for the Kaiser’s cup. 
It is not necessary that we should build any 
such fleet as that which sprang into being, fairy- 
hke, in 1906—a third of that number will suffice. 
Last year the rule was a novelty with us—to-day 
we have sufficient data from which to produce 
boats thoroughly capable of winning at Kiel. But 
it is essential that new boats should be sent. 
Common courtesy—if no more cogent reason 
offers—should prevent 11s from making any such 
arrogant, conceited faux-pas as the selection of 
three old boats would be, unless they should on 
trial prove themselves more -fit than newer craft. 
Rather than adopt any such attitude toward an¬ 
tagonists who have shown themselves the most 
courteous of rivals, the Eastern Y. C. should build 
new boats as a club expenditure. Fortunately, 
however, no such movement is necessary, for 
individual yachtsmen will surely provide new 
aspirants for honor in the class. 
Mr. Benjamin C. Tower is already reported to 
have ordered a sonder boat of the Lawley & Son 
Coipn., from designs by Mr. F. D. Lawley, and it 
is rumored that the same concern will build an¬ 
other boat for a New York yachtsman from 
designs by Mr. Charles D. Mower. Neither he 
nor Mr. Lawley were represented in ‘the 1906 
class, but both were intelligent students of the 
lessons that those boats taught and both rank 
high as capable designers. It is not improbable 
that Dr. J. L. Bremer (who owned Manchester) 
and Charles H. W. Foster, Esq. (who owned 
Caramba) will again enter the lists—again with 
boats designed by Mr. Edwin A. Boardman, who 
designed two of last year’s three defenders. Still 
another order is expected from a prominent Bos¬ 
ton yachtsman, who, while not in the class last 
summer as an owner, yet sailed on several of the 
boats, _ and is thoroughly conversant with the 
essential features of a successful sonderklasse 
boat. All in all, there seem assured at least six 
new yachts of this type, so that the trial races of 
1907, due to begin on June 17 or 24, are already 
an inevitable success. 
Two minor points may well be mentioned at 
this time; our boats must not cost, complete with 
two suits of sails, over $2,400; and it must not 
he forgotten that the waters of Kiel are so nearly 
fresh that a boat which here measures 19ft. Sin. 
on the waterline would there be likely to exceed 
20 ft. 
The annual meeting of the Boston Y. C., held 
Jan. 30, at its Rowes Wharf house, was very well 
attended and marked by much genuine en¬ 
thusiasm. In the absence of the commodore, the 
vice-commodore. Alfred Douglass, presided, and 
the following officers and committees were elected 
for the ensuing year :
